Alesantlxia 6azette.

The GAZETTE Is now tne oIuest paper !"
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and its usefulness mas
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS ofitS existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chronl-
cling of the history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for ob-
tanning news than any paper outside OF the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as we'll as
from every part of the habitable globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE a great desideratum with mer-
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of theState, is pub
lished regularly, and ali events OF interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
monwealth are TO be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
The CAVITIES circulation is steadily in
oreasing, especially among people who con
suit its advertising columns before purchas-
ing. That this is self-evident may be infer
red from the fact that large country edi-
tion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section of country three tines
a week, and is read by thousands, most OF
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of adj
vertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
parent.

An Insubordinatc Pupil.

WHEELING, w. Va, Dee. AT the public
school at Beeson Creek, Richie County yes
terday, young man named Davis, n pupil
in the school, was told by his teacher, Creed
Wilson, that he intended to whip him for an
inlruction of the school rules. Davis drew a
long knife and attempted to cut the teachers
throat. Wilson struck Davis arm upward
The knife entered his forehead, scvering the
temporal artery nndthen cut irightful cash
across Wilson'S head, looping of his right
ear. Davis continued to cut and slash at the
teacher until the latter fell exhausted from
loss of blood. he hayinga dozen bad stabs on
his neck and head. He will probably die.

Investing Ben FranLlin's Money


In 1880 will end the term of 100 years dur
ing which the cities of Boston and Philadel-
phia have each enjoyed the revenue from q
bequest OF 5000 made by Benjamin Frank
lin. The money was to be loaned out 10
young married artihcers, and the trust has
been executed, although the lapse of CEN
tury requires new disposition Of the funds
IL is significant that while in Boston the
5000 has grown to nearly $32S000, in Phila-
delphia the 5000 has become only $4,000
and that In both cases the amount is less
than franklin estimated II should be. But
as the natural philosophers of Frankln's
day generally fell. short of the sage in in
genuity so, TOO, the successive boards of
trustees have been far from equal to him in
business ability. 1t is interesting to note
however, that the two funds still exist, and
that part of the Boston reserve goes in the
purchase Of public recreation ground, to
be known as Franklin Park.-[Electrical

bed she exacted promise from the friend
that the stolen relic should be returned. No
name was given the trustees, and the person
who took the cup will never be known. The
